FASHIONABLE OR OTHERWISE,

Park wear close-ftting tailor suits
and driving coats,or long ul tiers with
capes, and they handle the reins IN
tan or gray-colored chamois ga1nt-
let's.
SOME of the newest tailor-mBde
gowns are not only bound with tai
lor's braid, but all the seams are, after
being pressed, covered with silk braid,
tailor-stitched on each edge of the
| braid.
NETS of silk cord, usually red, in the
shape of the caps worn by Neapolitan
fshermen-on the stage have largely
taken the place of the coquettish
breakfast caps for early-morning demi-
tOilettes.
The deep bands of long feeced fur
that extend from the throat to the
feet of some of the new long wraps for
mldminter wear are regal IN effect.
Narrow collars, cuffs, and q muff of
the same fur is used with these wraps.
The English felt turbans and toques
intended for wear with tailor gowns
have close rolling brims, bound, or
rather bordered, with wide silk.hat-
hatters' galloon or braid, and fire.
quently the only trimming is loops of
the same galloon and g few quilts.
PRETTY gray sailor hats just from
France ere trimmed with big gray
bows Of six-inch wide ribbon, which
are set high on the crown IN the back,
and where the brim is caught up is
set q cluster Of three very curly gray
ostrich tips which fall over the bows
with charming effect.
A TWO -INCH-WIDE ribbon, folded dou-
BILE and set with little golden bells all
around, is the proper collar for pug.
After the ribbon is tied In g. double
bow it should be secured by one of
those patent shoe-string clasps that
ladies use to fasten the lacing OF their
Newport and Oxford ties.
SOME of the new m ire and other
ribbonssare shot in what are called
brown, just the color OF seaWeed Of
the seashore if held up to the light,
showing the CLINT of rudy brown just
where the weed is greenest.
DIAGONAL woods, with g. feecy long
pile selvage two or three inches wide,
| is sold for skirts and overskirts of
wooden suits, the bodice being of the
same wool or of velvet, plain or
plaided. The feecy solvages form the
trimming at the bottom of the skirts
and upper draperies of such gowns.
The matinee tea jacket or sacque to
wear with any skirt is soft surah or
crepe de chine, and is deliberately
trimmed with lace, feather and her
ring bone stitching, silver, gold and
silk embroidery, and bows and fots
of ribbon. White, black and scarlet,
all seen in tea jackets, matinees and
tea gowns.
A LADY's walking or driving suit
cannot be too severely plain and SIM
| pie, while her afternoon and evening
| toilets at home or for visiting may be
as elaborate as lace, "rain' fringes,
ribbon bows and fots, and all the &C
cessories OF the toilet can make it.
She may be as fussy as Frou F'rou
and not violate good taste in the later
hours OF the twenty-four.
Wells are coming back into favor
again as the autumn winds begin to
play havoc with bangs, and are worn
80 as to cover the entire face and chin.
Many are made of very fine silk gauze,
blue, gray Or black, which is crossed
behind and brought round under the
chin and tied in a big bow. Others are
Of tulle, sometimes dotted with vel
vet, and are of all colors.
GRAY is the color of fully half of the
French dresses imported this season,
and it is invariably combined with
white. Many of them are plaids. g.
gray ground with large diamond
plaids of fire white lines. Much of the
gray is trimmed with silver. and many
walking jackets are OF smooth-faced,
heavy dove-colored cloth thickly
braided with round silver braid.
THERE are at present two popular
modes for arranging the hair, one
being the smooth, compact little
! braided knot and the neat Russian
bang, and the other consisting Of two
large, soft loops, folded half way over
each other on top of the head. When
the hair is worn high a few short little
curls are pinned into the smooth sweep
of hair behind, taking the place of the
futed waves that Mrs. Langtry made
popular last year.
The manufacturers are endeavoring
to push the silver. handled umbrella
out of style by putting on the market
those with gold handles in new and
attractive designs. Gold has never
been as we'll liked as silver for the
adornment of articles used on the
street, and it is doubtful whether
they will strike the popular taste.
Some of the more expensive ones have
the gold handle wreathed in frosted
leaves and are very pretty.
A TAILOR gown for bride of cream
white cloth, fine and plant, is braided
